Paris Hilton as Britney Spears, Kourtney Kardashian as Kim: The best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2023
Halloween might be over for another year, but some stars are hoping their costumes will live long in the memory.
Some celebrities paid homage to fellow pop culture icons, while others tried their best to follow new costume guidelines issued by SAG-AFTRA.
Last week, the guild prohibited members from dressing up as popular characters from major studio content. Instead, they were encouraged to wear costumes inspired by generalised characters, like ghosts, zombies, or witches.
From Adele and Maya Jama, to Ed Sheeran, Paris Hilton and Sharon Osbourne, here are the best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2023:
Heidi Klum
The reigning queen of crazy Halloween costumed, supermodel Heidi Klum strutted through her annual holiday bash dressed as a giant peacock – beak and all – with acrobats dressed as the feather of this bird’s plumage.
Her husband Tom Kaulitz accompanied her on the red carpet, dressed as a human-sized peacock egg.
Last year, Klum broke the internet when she dressed up in a head-to-toe worm costume. Speaking to People, she explained that when it comes to Halloween costumes, Klum tries to “find things that people naturally wouldn’t do.”
“Most people do nurses or police officers, but I was always looking for something that I hadn’t seen,” she said.
Adele
The Grammy winner celebrated the spooky holiday with a performance at her Las Vegas residency, “Weekends with Adele”. She dressed up as Morticia Addams from The Addams Family for the occasion, complete with a long black wig, a floor-length black dress, and dramatic smokey eye makeup.
Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne
The Osbournes turned to Kanye West, now known as “Ye”, and his rumoured wife Bianca Censori for inspiration for their costumes this season. While Ozzychannelled Ye in an all-black, head-to-toe jumpsuit that covered his face, Sharon copied Censori’s controversial “pillow” look. Earlier this year, Censori walked through the streets of Italy wearing sheer tights and a bodysuit, while holding a purple cushion over her chest, sparking confusion among fans.
Ed Sheeran
The British pop star took a note from the classic horror film Child’s Play, with Ed Sheeran transforming into the movie’s murderous “Good Guy” doll, Chucky.
Zayn Malik
Zayn Malik embraced the spirit of Halloween with a costume of Lord Voldemort, the arch-nemesis of Harry Potter.
“HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED IS BACK,” one fan wrote, praising the former One Direction star’s transformation into the dark lord.
